I work mainly with pen, watercolours and acrylics. While I hope to demonstrate range and versatility though this portfolio, my signature style is most evident in my mixed media pieces – pen and watercolour hybrids. My art constantly delves into nature and man, fantasy and reality, decay and rebirth, despair and hope. I currently teach art and freelance. Please contact me to discuss how we can work together, or sign up for my upcoming workshop at bit.ly/leach-watercolour.

When I was a little girl, I believed I could talk to animals. (Didn’t you?!) I spent many afternoons chasing after the neighborhood cats and attempting to cuddle and converse with them. Despite getting scratched on my arms and face many times, I wasn’t discouraged. To this day, I still try to talk to them. And they still ignore me!
